  Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast Club. You know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: some people have to wait a certain amount of time,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: some people had to pay people. Was just a conversation.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So what was the process? Would you getting your masters above? Yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: but you know when you when you have when you signed.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You know, from our era when we did deals, it
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: was standard for the labels to have control of the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: master for like seven years and then some of it
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: will held every buy that back and then some of it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You know, it was all three. Do you talk to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of the Detroit artistcause it's Detroit. Is a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: new wave of artists coming out. Do you get a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: chance to speak with the younger artists and say, hey,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: this is how you should be signing your deals or
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: is it one of those things when you're young you're like, oh,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: we knew what we're doing. Anyway, No, I speak to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: him as much as I can. This is one of
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: them dull is like enlightened beyond his years. But there's
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a few artists that I kind of mentor not to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the degree of him, But there's a lot of companies.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: They come with a bag of money. They don't have
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: much to offer, but since they have money upfront, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: they're catching these guys at a time where they kind
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of need money or they feel like that they need money,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it's already in the contract. I actually read somebody's proposal
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and it's said, we will have ownership of a master
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in perpetuity, and then we'll split everything sixty forty sixty
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: US forty you and give you a five thousand dollars advance.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: And he was thinking about signing it for five thousand dollars.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: God dag, because yeah, because we don't five thousand number one,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: we programmed to think shortsided correct. We have no kind
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of like idea of how to place value on that master,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: so early on we don't know what it's going to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: be worth until it comes out, and then it goes
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and then it's like, damn, Okay, now I know a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: little bit more. Now I want to go get the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: master back. Now it's the same old song and dance
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: publicly from a public platform. You bashing some company or
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: something like that, which that don't look good either. There's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: an investment. The problem is we don't always understand the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: complexity other deals. But you can't be mad. You have
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to have an attorney. So that means your attorney looks
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: over that paperwork in most cases. Yeah, but your attorney
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: is their attorney. That's we got. I give you an
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: attorney just to any attorney. But you know how that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: conversation came up in the car. I said, do you
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: think it's possible for me, a black man to cultivate
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a real meaningful relationship with an artist and on his masters?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And I said yeah. He said for period, for any
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: period of time. I think so there is there any
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: point where that artist is gonna get a little bit wiser,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit bigger, and then look look at it
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in retrospect. Is it possible for him or her not
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to harbor some Yeah, I agree with you already negotiate though,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: like when that artist catches that hit. It has to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: be a point where it said, Okay, I made my
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: money back off the investment. Because it's not just five
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. You gotta pay for travel, You gotta pay
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: for war. That's the big for traveling you're paying for
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: What would your renegotiation be? It depends how big direcorded.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Like a perfect example, right Cardi B. When Cardy B
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: was first side, they put a lot into Cardi B.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But this you took off that should have been to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: renegotiate right then and there you got the one of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the biggest female artists. Give it half the coopany, But
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: then what happens when you got five Cardi bs? Ain't
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a label exactly. And that's what I was gonna say
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: about the masters conversation. It's about the investment you put
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in them. You know what I mean. I don't want
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: none of your masters if I didn't make a large investment.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: But if I made a large investment, man, I can
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: see why I gotta get it back. And we're gonna
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: be held to a different standard than the labels would be. Yeah,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you're here the way, let's talk about Hole Buffy. You
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, don't abody to talk about Leod,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: don't abody to talk about none of these labels. Correct,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: But let Hoole do something, Let you do something. Let
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: any of us do something, and it's just like, oh, man,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you're wrong. How could you do that? You know what
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I mean? But when you're investing somebody, you're paying for everything, right,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: So you're paying for studio talking, you're paying for them
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: lights to be on, You're paying for the engineer, you're
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: paying for the food for damn the water, traveling, hotels,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: wardrobe if they don't have it. Now he has to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: make a record. If that record don't pop, you don't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: get none of that money back. And you're doing it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: on some family, and that creates a sense of entitlement.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: That's why I asked in the context of building cultivating
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the relationship, because you know, we do everything on some family,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm so it's difficult to be able
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to do that kind of business and cultivate a relationship.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Is that The other problem too, though, that the black
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: executives do do the family thing. We're a family. We
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Rocked for life, we bad Boy for life. Isn't that
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to just be more business? That's what it always feels like,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: even when like you look at Meek signing the Raws
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: or Drake and you know, Nikki signing the Wayne. It's
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a family. It's a family when we win. Yeah, but
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: then when you start throwing them bricks out and it's
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: f that person that you just called your family, you know, yeah, yeah,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. I don't know. I say that
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: because we want fans. Is that's when we come from
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: though and our culture. We come from broken family. So
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the ability to make money with our family ain't just music.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it could be the dope game too, but
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it still starts with leadership.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I went out there when when Puff was working on
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the press Play album. I went out there to work
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: for him, and it's you had me in like a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: MIDI room just writing versus over and over and over
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: again while he was in the bigger, luxurious a room
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: with all of his celebrity friends, and I was just like, Man,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: this ain't paid me. You know what I'm saying, Like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: this brying me. About ten years later, after I was
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a little wiser, I looked at him in retrospect. Man,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I had to hit him on the DM. I didn't
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: have his num. I had to hear him on the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: DM man to tell him how much I appreciate him,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: how much I took from that, Like it was because
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of that process that I started to rewrite in my
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: own creative process. I was like, I didn't even rewrite
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: my own just much. Why don't I approach but this
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: same kind of intensity I poured that from it, and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: just the opportunity, you know what I mean, Like sometimes man,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: we take for granted the opportunity. And I looked at
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: him and thought about how many great things he's contributed
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to the culture, and how much all of the bad
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: stuff or the quote unquote bad stuff is always placed
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in front of the same with Baby. I wish I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: could call Baby and tell him how great I think
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he is, you know, I mean, because it's like every
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: time you hear about these guys as well, they're on drugs,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: they're doing this, getting them doing this. But it's like, bro,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the'se It's been existing since nineteen ninety seven legends. If
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that was anybody else from any other culture of people,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: these would be they would be status. No, we have
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: appreciate even Dame. I was. I've seen Dame this weekend.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I was on a panel with him and the middle
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of panel I had to say thank you, and he
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: was like, for what I was like back then when
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I was doing mixtapes, even though it was like ninety nine.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I was like, you had an opportunity to do the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Rockefeller mixtapes with Clue, with S and S with Flex
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: what you said you wanted a young DJ at the time,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and you pick me? And I was like, thank you
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: because you were cheaper. You know that. I said thank you,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: But I was like, you know what, when you grow
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit, we really understand how how grateful it
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: was to have that opportunity because we don't have those opportunity. Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But I will say though, ten years ago you other
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: know New Royce, No no, no, no, I was saying
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: time you're in the b room. Now you ain't. No
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: New was saying ten years later from when that was
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Camember the press playoffs. Yeah, but even with that, Russia
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the five not should have been treating with a little
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: bit more respect. I think, no, no, no, I was
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: on a private jet with them. We went to talk. Okay,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: when we was up at daddy shouse. You remember how
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: long ago we got more with Royce to five nine.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Dope moves to Breakfast Club. Good Morning,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club the morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Charlomagne
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it with Royce to five nine. And I got to
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: ask slaughter house of y'all back on good terms. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: don't know what month this was, what week it was.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I happened to turn Instagram, and I've seen y'all arguing
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: on Instagram. You would you would have you were the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: middle man, you would have one trying to calm things down.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And they were going back and forth, and I just
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: turned to I was like, I can't see these bubbs
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: arguing anymore. So you're back good. I mean, I could
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: never say we're bad, you know what I mean? Like
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: they listen, man, we've been We've spent ten years together. Man,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Damn there every day building something special, you know what
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I mean. And it just it just ended in a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: very unfortunate way. But I can't just sum it up
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: like that. Now. We haven't spoken. Two of the guys,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Crooked and Joel, made some made some decisions that you know,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: we can't really come back from in terms of business.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: That's really it. Decision was they decided to do their
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: own group or do their own thing together. I'n give
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you the short version, but me and Joe is sitting
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: around minding our own business, and we look up and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: they start rolling out a project. The project was called
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: The Rise and Fall a Slaughterhouse. They put this project
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: out and the project is announcing to the world that
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the group is over. And this is while we had
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: already went through a long negotiation with Shady to pull
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the group off the label so we can do things
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: moving forward, so we can make another album, so we
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: can relaunch merchandise, so we can relaunch everything Slaughterhouse. So
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: y'all were gonna do another album, even Joe was gonna
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: do get in the studio and do another album at
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: that time. Absolutely okay. The whole album was basically about
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: how Joe Knock gonna wrap Tricket came to the table
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: with a deal idea. We didn't want to do it,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: so day over it. They're done, The group is done.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And I just felt like that was a hell of
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a thing to blindside me with as a friend and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: as a business partner, because number one, if the group
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: is gonna be over, that's fine. Things in let me
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: know that. Or if you're gonna go public and say
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: that you're done with the group, that's school. But don't
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: just go public and just announced that the group is done.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I expected more out of crookeet. I didn't have as
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: much of a problem with Joel, because you know, me
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and Joel always been been cool. But me and Crook, well,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I thought we were better than that, you know what
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I mean. So it was more of a personal thing,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I can't. I can't
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: bring myself to a point where I can get on
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: a public platform and bash any of them though, you
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I got too much love for him,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and I think the amount of love I got for
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: him is what made me so disappointed. Bunn told me,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: like when we first, when Slaughterhouse first became a thing,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: he called me and any time I ever aired out
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: anything publicly if it involved family, I always regretted it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I'd always resonated with Since that conversation, I've went and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: done that probably fifty times, and I regretted it every time.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: So you know, so that's one of the things that
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I'm working on. So to answer your question, no, no
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: more slaughter House, but still nothing beloved. Always I respect everything,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: as you said, and I feel like that should have
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: been an easy conversation for Crooking in Joel because Joe
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: don't want to rap, so he don't want to wrap.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: There's no slaughter House, so why shouldn't he be able
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to go do their own project. Well, it's easy to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: paint Joe as that because of how many things he
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: said publicly. But when we're having conference calls and he's
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a part of every call and we having creative conversations
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: about what we're gonna do next, you know what I mean?
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: He was gonna get back in the doing. Joe staying
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is I'm retired doing. I'm in the content space. But
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I'm really into ownership right now. I will wrap in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: slaughter House. If we own it, it can't be on Shady,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And if we decide to take it to another label,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I would be particular on how we would do that
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: deal because we already built this. This is something we've
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: built already, and I agree it shouldn't just sit on
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Shady if Shady doesn't want to release it. And this
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: is respectfully because I love them too always, So to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: get to that point with Joe being way more knowledgeable
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: obviously myself being way more knowledgeable, and then just having
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: it in our possession and for them to just jump
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the gun like that because of a deal that he
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: put on the table, which he that's never been his
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: role in the group. But I mean, anything that anybody
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: put on the table, I would consider it. But I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: think that we should be allowed to ask questions. Right
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: if I put something on the table for us and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you ask questions, or even if you say no, does
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that mean everything is over? Or does that mean we
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: go to another label. We hadn't talked to any other
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: labels yet. We hadn't even talked to a label in
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that situation. We talked to a guy who was talking
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to a label. We never had nothing on paper. There
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: never was a proposal in black and white for us
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to look at. It was just a conversation. He didn't
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: like how the conversation went, so he decided we're gonna
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: go do this playing devil's advocate, Like, do you feel
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: like the white Devil's advocate? We know Joe was doing
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: well with his content, creating everything that he's doing. You're
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: obviously doing well. Could it be a situation where maybe
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Joel and Crooked weren't doing as well because the group
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: was so much financial for them. I mean, y'all were
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: going on towards y'all. I don't think y'all ever really
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: got the money that y'all deserved. Yet you feel like
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: maybe that was their way of saying, look, I gotta
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: feed my family at the end of the day. Possibly,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and I mean listen. That makes it even worse because
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it's like, bro, if that's what it was, we who
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: are you supposed to have been talking to? I understand
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the ups and down. So if it's if this is
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a downtime, because there's been plenty of things that I've
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: done that I've done because one of my rules in
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the group was I don't like I'm not doing any
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: three man shows. All members gotta be there. There's been
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: plenty of times Joe couldn't make it where they were like, yo, listen,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: we need you to come do this because we need
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the money. And I did it like Roy's gonna be played.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: It was a bad deal. There were times when when
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Joe was ready to wrap and we couldn't get Crooked
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to rap. They don't talk about that, you know what
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like Crook and Cook always ready to wrap.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Bok didn't want to know. See see what I'm saying.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: See See, people got the wrong impression about people. And
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that's why Joe is easy to paint as a certain thing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: He's easy talking. Yeah, and Joel look like they look
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: like the blue collar guys, correct, you know the guys
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: who you know willing the road, they sleeves up, all
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that crook. He had his ways about him the whole time.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: He's always had some issue with Joe that he wouldn't address.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: It was always in the air. I can't quite put
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: my finger on what that was. But this getting made
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Joe disrecords. He didn't did it all types of you
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, People just didn't hear. And there
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: was a time where he was like, nah, I ain't wrapping.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Nobody went out and put out an album about him
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: not rapping and saying that the group is over with.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: It's just it's messy. And then on the business side
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it's like, yo, you you're not up up your too.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: And then you know, like during the whole process, you
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: had to paint me in a certain light in order
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to be able to do that, And I'm just trying
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to figure out what what did I do to deserve that? Yeah,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I mean there's no record a silent because I heard.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I heard people are getting invited to the Frank Stand.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I never did, didn't somebody said SMD on one of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: those calls. Oh no, no, Joe, Joe, Joe one of them.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, Joe, Yeah, Joe said that project, that
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: project of SMD. He said that project that probably can
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: suck much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh maybe it was
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the project. Oh yeah, maybe that's not That's just that
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: when I started seeing him lives like, you know what, enough,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: that was just that was just some Joe to say though,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like it was It wasn't
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: like Joel know how Joe talked, you know what I mean.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So that wasn't That wasn't really nothing. That was one
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: of the things where you can take it. You can
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: take it super super offensive and personal if you if
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: you choose to. But Joe, Joel said a lot of them.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: He said a lot of weird stuff too, you know
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like everybody played that part. I'm I'm
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: holding myself accountable for the for the part that I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: played to you know what I mean. But I mean
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: it's a little part did you play you think? I mean,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: you're making it hard for me because I don't do
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: much wrong, Charlie Man, I just I just I just um.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I did that thing that I was talking about. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: went on Joe's show, and I was frustrated in my
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: reaction to what they did. Caused Crook to react to
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: how I reacted. What he said made me block them.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: It made me block them on social media and made
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: me block his number because I don't. I love them
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: too much and I don't want nothing else to get said.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: It's gonna put me up there, you know what I mean.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: And I don't feel like there's anything that should go
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: on in the wrap space that should even bring you
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to that, you know what I mean. But we all
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: we all gardened something, you know what I mean, Like
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: we all garden rather it's our egos. We come from
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: environments where the measuring stick cool some souped up tough guy,
• 25:39

  Speaker 1: Kevin Gates. Posters posted this on Twitter yesterday. If a
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: woman comes in the bathroom and talks to me while
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I'm taking an ish, I find that very romantic. Now
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: do you like when your wife comes in the bathroom
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: it has a conversation with you? Absolutely not. That's not
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: something that we do. I hate poop, first of all,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: don't like it. I know everyone does it, but it's
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: literally one of my least favorite things to do. I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: don't look at it when it's in the toilet. I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: know some people like to look at it and make
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: sure it's like, you know, in the shape of a
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Superman logo, like I don't do Yeah, I don't do
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: none of that, you know what I mean. I think
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: when you are moving vows, it's a sacred experience and
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you should expel with by yourself. I don't want my
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: wife in the bathroom with me while I'm pooping. There's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: nothing cute about that. It's nothing sexy about that. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: mean to me, Kevin Gates, that's him to him, to
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: each his own, and to me, No, yeah, I feel
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the same. I don't. I don't see nothing the sex
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: of it. I don't want to have a conversation, although
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I set up shot, but I go to the bathroom though,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: like I said, like, I'm not in the bathroom for
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: like thirty seconds. I'm magazine. Nah, not me, Nah, I
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: got my phone. No, I'm too old to lay something.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I might be paying my bills. I'm doing like I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: really take my time, like I sometimes I'm all that
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: so long my feet fall a skip that happens to
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: me all the time. And I don't even gotta be
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: on that long. That's why I don't do it no more.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I meant to get. I liked him step stools my
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: sister Alicia, and they told me a long time ago
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: to get one of them stools. Like it's like a
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: squatty party there you go when you put your legs
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: up while you're pooping, so you put your legs up
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: while you do That's that's just too much. But I
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: will tell you something. When I got a callinic, I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: did that. It was amazing. Not gonna lie. What part
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: did you like? What the calonic part? I like the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: whole process. I mean, it's a little uncomfortable, but I'm
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: talking about like when the after you the calonic is done,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you gotta go sit on the toilet in the calonic place.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: And she had a squatty party in there. And I'm
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie, man. I don't know if it was
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the calonic of the squatt a party, but it dumped
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: like you dump dump dump, you know what I mean.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: If it was, it felt good and my leg weren't
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: sleepy when I got up. I'm glad you finally good.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: But yeah, answer your question. No, I don't want my
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: woman in the bathroom with me while I'm taking the poop.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to be in there with her
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: what she's taking? No, I mean, hello, who's this? Hey?
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: This is representing the ball? Yeah, what's up? Bro? We're
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: talking about, you know, pooping in front of your partner,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: all right, subjective about think about it normally. How many
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: people have you pooped in front of them? Not even
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: very few, nobody besides my wife. And this is when
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: when it has to happen. But I don't think I've
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: ever pooped in front of my wife. My mama went
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: out of the baby was atte. So the highest level
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: of intimacy is pooping in front of your partner. No,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: it's not no more intimate than that. That is not
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: true romantic. That's just simply not true romantic. And only
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: my wife only comes to the bathroom. She has to,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: like you might like, she might need something out the bathroom,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and when she comes in there, she's coming in like
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: full gas mask or like ah. And by your logic,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: you might as well walk around with a dipe on
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: and let your wife change you and wipe you and
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff, and that intimate too. Absolutely, have
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: a blessed day, sir, Have a blessed don't kink shaming,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Have a blessed don't kink shading? Hello, who's this? What's
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: going on? This is a DJ? This is lit. I'm
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: wanting the radio. That's lit. It's lit. You poop in
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: front of your partner. I'm sorry you're poop in front
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: of your partner? Um, yeah, I do. Definitely you've got
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you because that's not let you know that. That's the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: who's got a real one? That means definitely down for
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the You know what, boy, y'all got some y'all got
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: some weird ways to make sure that your woman is real? No,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: because you know you, I mean because you have to,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: because that's something natural of people be like ill, Like
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like when you first start
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: dating somebody like you, you know how many farts you
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: hold in? Yeah, that's not healthy. You gotta let it
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: out for somebody that you could feel comfortable with, that
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: let you you couldst of all and all that we
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: have conversations. First of all, I don't fart in my clothes.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, why would you want to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: fart around anybody? That's just disrespectful. Like it's just it's
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: like nobody just sits around and foughts. You ain't never
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: just been in the casual conversation with persons and they
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: just fought. Maybe when you was a kid, but when
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you're an adult, you don't do stuff like that. Why
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: would you do that around your wife? So this is
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: what I do when if I'm in public and I
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: gotta fart, I just I just step away. I just say,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: excuse me, I stepped to the side, fart and let
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: it air out. Wait about a couple of seconds, because
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you don't want it to linger in them to respect,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that's respect, that's respects. So why wouldn't you give you
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a woman that same respect? Why would you fart in
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: front of her just because you think you can. That's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: just disrespectful for you. While we've been together for a while,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: you haven't saying you fought. You gotta let it, you
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: gotta go, you gotta go. That's a family member at
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: this point. If you're am fan, No, you don't have
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: y'all show you faring fun of your wife, not on purpose. Yeah,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: but you gotta let it go. Yo. You know it's
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: it's a chemical imbalance when you um hold I mean,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I don't fight in front of me. I don't fight
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: my clothes. Oh yeah, I will fall. I would pass
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: gas from my wife and my kids and my family,

• 33:26
  Speaker 1: breakfast club, and I'm molling everybody's we are the breakfast clubs.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Especial guests joining us today. Indeed, we have Cheryl Mckissac
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Daniel and Don Peoples. Welcome, Hello, now, welcome back. Yes,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: you know, Cheryl is the president of CEO and Don
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: is the founder, chairman and CEO of the People's Corporation.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Let me tell y'all something. It's been a lot of
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: rappers in this room, a lot of athletes in this room. Okay,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: just might be the most money been in this room
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: at one time. That's all I'm gonna say. A fact,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: just a fact, might be the most money that's been
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: in this room at one time. I just want to
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: say that, how are you all today? Well? We are great, Okay,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: glad to be here, Glad that you are having us
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: in to talk about Affirmation Tower. That's right. And he said,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: y'all wanted to be the most inclusive skyscraper in New
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: York City. What does that mean? He be a break
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: that down because they came ahead bullying me. First of all,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: just because I went to Hampton University. They can't bully
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: talking on this Howard stuff. But explain what that that
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: project is about, that inclusive skyscraper. Listen. It was last
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: year when cbr EL, a large brokerage firm, came to
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: me and they said, listen, this is up for grabs
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and the only person that we think can develop this
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: is Don Peoples. And I'm like, Don's a friend. He
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: was already looking at this project. And so you know,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: if the best in the brightest of this country feel
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: that way, then we certainly know we can do this.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna let Don explain the project. Well, great,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, Caryl and I have been friends, and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: she and her sister were freshmen, and oh, y'all got
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: some stories. And I was in the real beginning and
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: going to the real estate business. And Cheryl's family has
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: a long history in it, and Cheryl's done an amazing
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: job in building her business here in New York and
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: other parts of the country. And so when the opportunity
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to come build a building across the street from the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Jabbat Center, one of the major attractions in New York City,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I thought, what better place than to build what will be, unfortunately,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: the first skyscraper in New York City built by black people.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: And it's mindboding. I'm sure black people will build something,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't. No black people actually behind it on
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the financial level. That's exactly right, that black people worked
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: on it, but they and not enough, by the way,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: because the construction industry has been discriminating over the years
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: as well in terms of the high paying jobs that
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: are generated by them. But that's stranging. So I thought that,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: you know, we ought to build this building should be
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: built by black developers. And so I thought about this
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: as also we want to send a message that we
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: all work together. And so I called Cheryl first and look,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: you know, I want you in your company as a
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: construction company to build this building, but also I want
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: you to be a developer a partner with us in that.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: So she came in Craig Livingston, who has been a
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: trailblazer in terms of economic empowerment for black real estate
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: professionals and entrepreneurs. We brought him on as a developer
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: as well and put together a team that's eighty percent
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: black owned. And then we were designing it, I thought,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: we want an architecture's going to make a powerful statement.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: So we picked David Aga, who I've worked with before
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: and who was the architect for the Museum for African
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: American History and Culture in Washington, DC, which is the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: most visited museum in the whole Smithsonian system since the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: day had opened. And then we committed to thirty five
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: percent minority contract and get a minimum threshold to build
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: that building. And then you know, when we're designing the building,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: it was going to be super tall. But then I said,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: why not build the tallest building. Let's build the tallest
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: building in the Western Hemisphere, built first building to be
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: built by black people in New York City in terms
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: of financially, and let's make it the tallest one in
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere. And so that's what we started doing.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: How much will this building costs to make it? How
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: long would it take? Three point six billion dollars? It's
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: some work, but we're gonna get it done and it
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: will be one of the biggest projects built in New
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: York City. And it meets two moments. So right now
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: we're coming out of COVID, so America and New York
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: has got to build back. But we got to do
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: it differently. We got to be inclusive, because that's the
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: other moment. I mean, these protests that we've had around
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: a country over the last two years, especially last year,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: was about fighting for equal treatment under the law for
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: black people, but also for us to have our seat
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: at the table. Economically, is it residential or is it
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: going to be commercial? Office? Two hotels, So starting on
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the podium that'll have a cultural center that the NAACP's
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: putting together, and then officers for the NAACP, and then
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: last week, Reverend Sharpton and I made an agreement that
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to bring the Civil Rights Museum there as well,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: so that'll be on the lower levels of the building,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and then we'll have some restaurant and other space on
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the top of the what's supporting the bigger part. And
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: then as we go up the tower, two hotels and
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: then officers and then up top three levels of the
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: event venue space, a observation deck. And to put the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: icing on the cake, we are putting an ice skating
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: ring on top of the building, on top of the building,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: sixteen hundred feet up in the air. Everything is intentional.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: So the name the affirmation towel what at the meeting
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: behind the end, we're affirming that we're meeting those two
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: points in time. When you look at the tower, it
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: looks like it's upside down, and that's another message. We
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: are turning things upside down. We want to open up
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: this system to people like ours. But as you know,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: when black people are owners, it creates an echosystem where
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: we help people all along the line. So how long
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: do you think it's going to take to actually complete
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: this project. It will take us when we start construction
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: about three years, and before that it'll take about a
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: year and a half of designed So we're about five
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: years out. How difficult was it to get this project?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, and we're still fighting for it. I mean,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: we are fighting for it now. It's very difficult, but
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I mean I expect it to be difficult. I mean,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: but we're knocking down barriers each day. And in reality,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Doctor King, Mecca ever John Lewis, it was hard for
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: them too. And we're doing it in other cities. We
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: just want a huge project. In Boston. Yep. Last week
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: we got with the Republican governor. Well, actually it was
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: eas easier because so give you a sense. So I mean,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I'm a big boot. I'm a Democrat, lifelong Democrat, but
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like when Henry Kissinger said about America, he said,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: America has no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, interress black people.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: We gotta have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, permanent interest.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: So the governor, Charlie Baker in Boston decided that he
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: saw the unfairness in the system. So what he did
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: is every project that he's doing in that state, twenty
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: five points out of a hundred, is for equity for
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: people of color. Always ask this question, and I don't
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: even know you can have one without the other. But
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: what's more important economic equity are equality? Oh wow, that's
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: a really good question. But I would say the economics
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: are very important, because then that's gonna help create the equality.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, Don always says this about venture capitalists,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: and they're sixty nine trillion dollars of money out there
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: that's been invested it, but only one point three percent
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: of it has been invested by black firms. So we
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: are so upside down on the economic ladder that we
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: just have to do something about that. If we can
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: have access to economic opportunity, we can solve our own problems.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: We can deal with our own community. But you keep
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: blocking us from economic opportunity, then we're going to continue
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: to struggle. So we can do it for ourselves. Then
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: we can expand our community and take care of our
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: own issues, and we can support our own organizations. And
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: they need to stop looking at us. I said this
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: yesterday to group of white business people. You all need
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: to stop looking at doing business with black people of
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: philanthropic it's good business for you, that's right, all right.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we have more with Cheryl McKissick,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Daniel and Don Peebles so don't move us to Breakfast
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Charlomnea Goad, we are
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Cheryl McKissick,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Daniel and Don Peebles. We got to go back to
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: the origin story because when I hear you know, y'all
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: knew each other as freshman at Howard University, that's like
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: some outliers divine alignment type stuff, like did y'all both
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: know that's what y'all wanted to do in the future.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: When I met Don, Don had bought his first apartment
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: in DC, and I said, how well, I was a
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: freshman freshman and I was two years I think I'm
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: two years older than right. So he was in college
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and he had bought an apartment, and I remember my
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: twin sister and are saying to each other, well, who
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: does that apartments when you're in college? And Don said
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: then he said, I'm going to do transformational development. My
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: sister and I we always knew we were going to
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: be in the family business. I mean, we're a fifth generation.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: We always knew that. But then over the years Don
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: was in DC Philadelphia, and we kept saying we're gonna
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: work together at some point. We are definitely going to
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: work together, but it just has to be the right project.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: So we know, MCKINNI gets fifth generation is people's first generations.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: You get the money to buy that help farm and done.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: You don't want to tell you it was I started yourself.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I started working. I quit college after my freshman year
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: and started working in real estate. And frankly, I mean,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: it was a black government, it was a black mayor,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: and they were focused on economic compowerment for black people.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: So I felt it was a good place to start
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: doing business. And so I got exposed to real estate
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: because my mother was a real estate sales agent and
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: a broker, and so I learned from her. I started
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: my own company when I was twenty three, wow, and
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: built my first building when I was twenty six. But
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I couldn't have done it anywhere else. DC at that
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: time was mecca for black economic empowerment. It was Atlanta
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: and DC. Maran Barry, Yeah and Maryan Bear for all
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: his faults, you know, he was Yeah. At his memorial service,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Minister Farcom mentioned that about his history of everything that
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you know, he was being criticized for having a drug
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: abuse problem, and he said, who are you talking about,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: John Kennedy because it wasn't so yeah. So, I mean,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Barry was transformative and the government at that time was
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: and they knocked down opportunities, barriers to opportunities for black
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: business people. Bob Johnson got a start in DC. I
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: got mine, many other black business people did. But I
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: met Cheryl and her sister. They were freshman in college
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: and her cousin was a good friend of mine, and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: so we became friends, and we both had kind of
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: common entriests. They were going into the family business. I
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: was building mine and some of my sons in our business.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Now he's twenty seven and my daughter's nineteen and at TCU,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm hopeful that she will go into the business
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: as well, and we can build some legacy. But part
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: of the legacy I want to build is demonstrating how
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: we can work together, because I may not be able
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: to do a three point six billion dollar building by myself,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Cheryl may not be able to Craig, but collectively we can.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: But John, you didn't need us, I mean financially, but
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I needed you all in every other way. Um, and
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: you all bring tremendous resources to the table. I know
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: people are watching this and they were all so good man.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying this just feel so good man. I
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: know people are watching this and then they want to
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: know how though, Like it's you know, it's easy to
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: say I bought my first building any but but how
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: where did the capital come from? Like? Where does one start? Well?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I think the first thing is with a dream. I
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: mean developers are dreamers, um with visionaries and so with
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the dream and with a plan and becoming a student
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: of the business and I mean beasts. You can be
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: self taught, read some books, learn about the business. It's
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: not a complicated business by the way supply and demand,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: So understanding the business, having a dream and having a
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: dream to be achievable, but you know, pushing and then
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I'm finding an idea. Once you find an idea, then
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: you can raise money for it. Now, what Cheryl touched on,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: if you're black, don't expect it to be easy. Um.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: The Federal Reserved did a study last year, just sixty
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: nine trillion dollars investing in equity and venture capital, and
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: that's normally goes. That's where real estate developers get equity
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: for their project from private equity, But just sixty nine
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars invested in private equity in the United States,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: and out of that, one point three percent of it
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: goes to businesses own or founded, or projects or worked
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: on by blocks or women combined. So white men get
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: ninety eight point seven percent of all venture capital and
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: private equity money. So the challenge is equity. But if
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: you can, you can raise the money friends and family
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: and so on, and then build your building or buy
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: a property and renovate it. And then do what I
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: did is I rolled all my money back in. So
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the first project that we did was ten million dollars.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Didn't start didn't you started with an impartment department of shouse.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's the question, Like you started from us
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: your part? Yeah, but then right, but then after that
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I started consulting an appraisal business, and that's how I
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: earned a living and begin to accumulate some money to save.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: And then with that money, I found an operat unity
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: to build an office building. But if you have a
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: dream and you're willing to do some work, you can
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: make money in the real estate business. You know, we
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: talk about the the racial no world gap in America.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: A lot you think that actually can be closed in
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: this generation. I don't think it can be closed. I
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: think we can make some progress, but we won't do
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: it the way it is right now. And one of
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: your former guests is a man I've known a long
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: time and currently president, and I remember it's comment about
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: it could make up your mind between him and Trump.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: You're not black, well, I mean again, no permanent friends,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: no permanent enemies, permanent interests. But he would be at
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: right now in the Delaware waterfront, on the porch of
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: his house if it wasn't for black people. It's time
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: to pay up, and I mean pay up in other
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: ways by giving us access to economic opportunity. And that's
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: when we close the wallscap a place like Boston. According
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: to Federal Reserve, the average household net worth of a
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: white family in Boston is two hundred and forty seven
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. The average household net worth of a black
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: family is eight dollars eight dollars. That isn't insurmountable, whilst
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: disparity without affirmative aggressive eight dollars to two hundred and
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: forty seven thousand, and so you can't solve that by
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: taking baby steps. Frankly, we can't let these liberal democrats
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: continue to try to make us comfortable being poor. So
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have to demand aggressive steps economically, not window dressing,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: not hiring a few black people here and there. And
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, the other thing, when black people get
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: in a position of power, they got to help each other.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: We cannot get into these positions and sit in them
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: and then just kind of keep the status quo so
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: then they can say, see, there, we got a black
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: person in here, so we're not racist. We're not doing
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: anything because we can't find any qualified black people. Well,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: because if we could, the brother over here or the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: sister over here would be doing it, and they're not.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons why my company has
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: focused on this issue. And I would dare to say
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: that I am the most outspoken advocate for equal opportunity
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: and fair treatment for black people in business and finance
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: and that and also that we got to do it aggressively.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: We cannot just sit back here anymore. What do you
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: what does reparations look like? Yeah, I think that what's
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: realistic for us is that the entire system of how
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: our government does business changes, and it is reflective of
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: population demographics. So if you're in a city that it's
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: fifty percent black, fifty percent of the government contracts go
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: to black businesses. If you're a business like you know,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Goldman Sacks or whatever, and you are taking institutional capital
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: as an investment advisor, then you've got to deploy that
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: reflective of the population demographics. So if you're running a
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: national business, black people a thirteen percent of the population,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: thirteen percent of the loans have to be made to
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: black businesses and black people on the same terms that
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: you make them to the white firms. So we could
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: do that just a fairness, I mean, we would make
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: great progress. But what has happened here is that the
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: impediments to our to us having fair opportunity are compounded
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: by these obstacles and these injustices. Economically, Oh brother, don
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: I can't buy no building with fairness. I need some capital, right,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So as you feel like
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: America ows there's something tangible, Yes, yeah, I think America
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: owes us something tangible by giving us capital. Look, I
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: think there should be some place where there's like a
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: pool of capital that goes to black people. And yeah,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: but not loans should be and if you and if
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: you execute, you know, and if you execute, then you
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: don't pay it back exactly right. But I think we
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: also have to say, okay, what about property that has
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: to be adjustin the reperate cash reparations were returning a
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: property needs to take place? All right, when we come back,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: we have more with Cheryl McKissick, Daniel and Don Peebles.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: So don't move. It's to breakfast Club. Go morning morning,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: everybody charge the guy. We all the Breakfast Club was
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: still kicking it with Cheryl McKissick, Daniel and Don Peebles. Charlemagne,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: how difficult is it navigating the construction industry and the
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: real estate industry as a black person? It's hard knocks
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: a black woman. Yeah, I mean, Don talked about black
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: females starting to the most businesses. However, we're still only
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: two percent of the businesses in New York City. And
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: so how was I able to build a business in
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: New York? It was really pushing prime opportunities, not where
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I was a sub consultant, you know, working under the
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: umbrella of a large firm. No, I had to be
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: the lead person, whether that was a two million dollar
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: project that turned into a five million dollar project or
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: ten million dollar project. But that was all a fight
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: because there are no laws out there for that. You know,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: you have to create relationships and you know, convince people
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: to give you this shot. And that's coming from a
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: fifth generation company. So I can imagine, oh yeah, two
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty years wow, and we're still having to
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: prove who we are and still not getting the access
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: that we should get politically. Do you know, do these
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: politicians come to you, of course to make donations and stuff,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: And if so, does that give y'all some type of
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: power when it comes to them. Yeah, you get y'all
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: able to demand things from them. So I've been involved
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: in politics my entire careers. Obama's National Finance Committee for
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: both of his election, Bill Clinton's as well. What I
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: learned over the years is that you can have some
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: access to some people, but even there we get discriminated against.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: We're big supporters of many different policy petitians, but they
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: will be willing to jump over backwards to help a
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: white business person who is you know, at a high level,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: but when it comes to us, they'll decide when they're
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: going to treat us fairly and when they're not, and
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: that the money's not as impactful. And it's kind of
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: a subtlety. And I don't know if I'm explaining it right,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: but what I'm saying is that our money isn't as
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: good as the other people's money when it comes to
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: many politicians, even if you have the same amount of money,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: even if financially y'all on equal footage, you'll tell us
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: there's a wall between policy and making decisions as a
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: government leader and your money. And so what I've done,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: and that's so fundraising and contributing money is kind of
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: the carrot. I say, Okay, the carrot doesn't work, I'll
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: use a stick. So a couple of times that these
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: people have crossed me and treated me unfairly, I form
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: a political action committee and I run an independent campaign
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: against them. And because I figure, if I got some money,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: I need to use it at least to level of
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: playing field for what I'm trying to do. And so
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to take it on the chin. And
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: that's the other thing is that they think that they
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: can threw us over and get away with it. So
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: I try to send a message no, there's some repercussions
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: if you treat us unfairly. You think we do ourselves
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: a disservice by always voting Democrat, always being with one
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: party against low to one party, Yes, I think. So,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I think we need to vote what policies are important
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: to us and get them to agree to some concrete things.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: So I chaired the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Board, which
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: is the think tank for the fifty some black members
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: of Congress and does that legislative weekend in Washington, DC.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: So I chaired that last three years of Obama's administration
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: and then going into trump first year, And I told
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: the caucus members when Trump came in, I know him
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: and he's transactional. Go meet with him with a list
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: of things for black people. Because you all weren't elected
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: to be Democrats. You were elected to advocate for black people,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: your constituents. So go with a list of what your
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: constituents want and tell him you want this, and ask
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: him what does he want, and see if there's a
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: deal to be made. But you can't put the black
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: agenda on hold for a four to eight years because
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: you don't like the guy in the office. You got
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: to play a game of power. You gotta constantly fight
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: because our agenda can't wait. So we should do business
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: with whoever we have to to get our program going forward,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: and then we can vote again later. The Democratic Party
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: takes us for granted, and they have for a very
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: long time. And frankly, we should be on the front
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: steps of the White House telling Joe Biden this isn't enough.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: It's great that you appointed a qualified woman to the
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court, a black woman, all right, but here's what
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: we need over in the Supreme Court. Expand the Supreme
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Court in a forge ye want to if you want
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: to really make an impact. But also, he's responsible for
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety four crimes, and I tell him to
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: his face he's responsible for He's clean it up, and
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: he has not addressed that yet. And he spoke passionately,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: and he was the floor leader in the Senate for
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton from the nineteen ninety four crime bill that
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: led to the mass incarceration of black men and women
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: and these mandatory sentences that destroyed lives. So he's got
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: to clean that up. And he's got to clean that up.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Not just what's criminal justice reform, because that's only going
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: to deal with what's going forward. But secondly, he's got
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: to make right what he's done our community and our
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: people since nineteen ninety four, before nineties. Yeah, because you
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: know the mandatory minimum sentence in the crack laws. That
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: was the eighties eighties. You're right. Yeah. When I when
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: I said that to him, I said, um, you know
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: they led the massive cause race And he said, no,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: it didn't. It was the mandatory minimum in the eighties.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: I said, when you wrote that too, it was easy
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: to do business with? Is it Biden or was it
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Trump to do business with? I think Trump would would
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: be easier to do business with because there's no competing
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: interest and he's a decisive person. I think that the
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Democratic presidents have tried to make this Rainbow constituency happy.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: So same thing about reparations and minority contracting. This country
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: owes two classes of people a great debt. It owes
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Native Americans a great debt, and then it owes black
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: people a debt, and it's time to pay that. And
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Biden could do that. Frankly, I was disappointed because I
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: thought that President Obama should have done it. But Trump
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: is transactional, so you can do business with him today
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: and be against him tomorrow. He's going to understand that
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: because he's wise that way. So we have to be
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: focused on getting business done. And to this point in time,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I can't think about what the President of the United
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: States has done for black people. And he's been in
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: office for a year. So how long do we have
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: to wait for the man that we single handedly put
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: into office? Right? I agree? And our agenda has always last,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Yes? If yeh? Yes, great conversation, Sister Sheryl,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: because peoples, I mean that was that was of course.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: So what's the call to action to change the five
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: thousands for that one? But we need everyone to talk
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: about Affirmation Tower. We need this to be a movement
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: because this is going to change how we position ourselves.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: It's changing a paradigm for black people, not only in
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: New York but in our nation. And that's the call
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: to action. They need to call the Governor's office of
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: New York and say that they support it. They need
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: to call their their New York City resident or New
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: York State resident. They need to call their elected officials
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: and say that they support this project and they support
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: what it stands for, which is economic opportunity. For black
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: businesses and going forward, we got to hold any anybody
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: running for office it wants our support. What are you
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: going to do for us economically? That's right? What are
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: you going? How are you going to write this scales
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: of injustice that we're dealing with, And that's the call
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: to action. Economic empowerment for our people will lead us
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: to a much better place because we can. What did
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: James Brown saying, I don't want nobody to give me
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: nothing to open the door. I'll get it myself, right, Well,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: that's what we want to open the doors of opportunity.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Let us do our thing. We have shown. I want
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: both done. I want to open the door. I want
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: something to be sitting on the table when I walk in.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, and it should be by the way,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: our our ancestors paid for it, and we got nothing
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: for it. They got nothing for it but extreme oppression.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: And so this country owes us a death. The White
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: House that Biden is sleeping and was built by slaves.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's it. Well, we appreciate you, guys man,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: and please, anytime y'all want to pull up, pull up,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: all right, okay, we will absolutely well, absolute cub good
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: morning the breakfast club, your mornings will never be the same.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: When it's time to get with someone special, the best
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: way to do it is with Magnum large sized condoms.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: That gold foil rapper is a badge of honor and
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: it means you're protected and you take care of things
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: with comfort. Accept no substitute. Bring the pleasure with the
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: gold standard Magnum large sized condoms you get day you are,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna fatten all that shit around your eye Doten Blowers. Man,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: they're waiting for Charlomagne to make a judgment. Who was
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: gonna be on the Donkey of the day. They chose
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: you's a breakfast club, bitches, Who's donkey of the day
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: to day? Well, donkey today was to a hiker in
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Colorado who got lost on a mountain for twenty four hours.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Now I know what you're thinking, Why, oh why with
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Uncle Charla, Brother Lennard give a man who got lost
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: for twenty four hours hiking donkey of the day. Well,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: it's tough one. It's a tough one because on one hand,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: I feel him. On the other hand, I'm like, I
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: don't think he wanted to be saved. Let me explain see.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: This man was reported missing after he didn't return from
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: an expedition on October eighteenth on Mount Elbert. Mount Elbert
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: is the highest peak in the state of Colorado. Now,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: he was lost, clearly, but sometimes folks be lost to us,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: but to them they just outside, all right, this kind
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: of feels like one of those situations, even though it's not.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: I know y'all think I sound like Rafiki and the
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Lion King right now, but listening to me, pay attention
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: follow this because they will all make sense in one second. Now,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: if people think you're lost, the first thing I would
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: assume to do is call your phone, right. That's what
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: they tried to do to this hiker. And this is
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: where it gets tricky for me, because trust me when
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: I tell you, I feel how this hike could be feeling.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go to KGTV ABC ten for the report. Police.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: We're looking into a story that seems hard to believe.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: It claims a loss hiker ignored calls from a rescue
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: cruz because he didn't recognize the phone number, and it's
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: actually true. The hiker was reported missing last week after
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: he failed to return from a track on Mount Albert
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: in Colorado, and the Lake County Search and Rescue team
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: says they repeatedly tried calling the hikers cell phone, but
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: the man never answered because he didn't recognize the number.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: The hiker did safely return to his place of lodging
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours later, with no idea that anyone had
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: been looking for him. Raise your hand if you don't
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: answer unrecognized phone numbers, okay, if you're driving, blow the horn,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: all right. I just assumed that an unrecognized phone number
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: is a bill collector, all right, and you're going to
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: a voicemail that I will never check. Now I have
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: to ask another question, how lost are you really if
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: you don't answer the phone and people are looking for
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: you simply because you don't recognize the phone number. I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: feel him, Okay, I don't answer the phone for numbers
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. In fact, too many numbers I don't know.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Calling me is one of the main reasons I changed
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: my phone number. But here's the thing, I don't know
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: if this hiker necessarily deserves done today. Sounds like the
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: people who were looking for him deserved donkey today because
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: they're trying to save a person that didn't need saving.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe number one he didn't answer a number he didn't know. Therefore,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: he clearly wasn't scressing. He clearly didn't think he was
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: in danger. Okay, number two, did you hear to enter
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: the news report? Can he played? Just the end of
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: the news report? It's that way to do that. The
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: hiker spent the night searching for the trail and bouncing
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: between different trails to find what I want. That's that
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't it At the end of it. At the end
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: of it, they said, he made his way back to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: his lodging. Right, if this guy was really lost, I
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: can't tell. But if he really was lost, round of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: applause for his focus, give this mass some applause, right, Okay,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: I mean if I'm lost trying to figure my way back,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to anyone on the phone either.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: You ever have your GPS going driving but somebody called
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: you and interrupts the GPS, or you're driving and talking
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: and you missing what the GPS is telling you because
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: this person wants to talk on the phone. What your
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: chat about? Okay, I missed me? Exit all right? Asked
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: how this man's brain was working in this moment. He
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: couldn't be bothered. He was too busy bouncing from trail
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: to trail trying to figure things out. Now, let's go
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: to this news report from sacB dot com. Here this
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: one the hiker spent the night searching for the trail
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: and bouncing between different trails to find a trailhead where
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: they had parked. Rescuers said, I don't know if he
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: was lost. I really don't. I really don't know if
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: this man was truly lost. But if he was, like
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: the media is reporting, I need to know his reasoning
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: for not answering his phone because I need that kind
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: of discipline in my life. Can somebody go interview this man,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Please have a conversation. I need to be able to
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: ignore my phone and other distractions under the rest are
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: not just like you know this individual was. I was
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: always taught desperate people through desperate things, and you know,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: answering unrecognized phone numbers is an active desperation. So clearly
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: there was nothing desperate about this man because he didn't
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: feel the need to answer his phone while he was
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: so called lost in the mountains. Is a prophet, okay,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: a beacon of light named Project pat who once said,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: don't save her, she don't want to be saved. I
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: think this applies to this hiker. All right, don't save
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: this man. He didn't want to be saved. As stupid
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: as we want to call this man. If you gotta
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: let a whole be a hole, you gotta let a
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: hiker be a hiker. But we can still give him
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: the credit he deserves for being I guess what we
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: would call stupid. Sometimes people just don't want to be bothered.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: But give this hiker the biggest seat anyway, just in
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: case he was really lost. All right, all you gotta
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: do is pick up the phone and not say anything.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Pick up the phone, baby, pick up But then but no,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: that would be if people think you're lost, right and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: they call your phone, and somebody picks up the phone
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: and don't say nothing. Now they really gonna be described.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Now they're gonna really want the law enforcement and everybody.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: You pick up the phone. That's even worse. She's not
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: a It was like a strange phone. So a strange
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: voice picked up my phone, a strange voice picked up
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: his phone. I really think he's in trouble with her.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you would have the whole fairs after
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: everybody would be looking for that person. After that collector.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: All right, well thank you for that. Dog get a day,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: this club, good morning, the breakfast club. Like nobody has
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: seen what I was doing, you know, But for me,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like a natural reaction to what
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: was going on, you know what I'm saying, Circle twenty ten,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: twenty eleven. You know a lot of stuff on the
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: radio was like young money dominant. Then they started going
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: west coast with it, you know what I'm saying, And um,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: I just felt the need that New York needed something
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: that like represented it again. And yeah, now it's just
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: kind of part of my DNA radio at that time,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: I know that. Well, you know, I was a kid.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: I hated everything. I hated a little everything. I didn't
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: want to have talked to nobody. I wouldn't see nobody.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: I had no type of gauge on really what was
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: going on into the magnitude of how it was going.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: Why did it take so long? Why why ten years
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: between projects? Oh no, it wasn't to you five years
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: ago American, right, but five years is a long time
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: too in this business. Why five years? Man? It wasn't
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: no specific reason, Like it wasn't like I finished my
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: last time. I was like, yeah, I'm gonna take five
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: years or nine. It just it just happened that way, man.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I was experimenting, trying to find a new direction,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out which way I wanted to go.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: In addition, I had my first kid, you know, my daughter,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: she's four years old now, started doing a lot of
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: TV and film stuff started taking off. So it was
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: just really getting used to a new balance. And then
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: the pandemic set me back. Like I had a project,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: but when the pandemic started, I got connected with myself
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: in a different way, you know, and it became a
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: whole different thing, you know. So it's just it's kind
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: of the way it lined up. But I'll tell you this,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: like I ain't never playing on going away for that
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: long again. How did you get into acting? For people
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: that don't know, I was a theater student in high school.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I went to Edward Armorro. I had like audition for
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different trauma theater programs. Because when I
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: was coming up, when I when it was time for
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: me to go to high school, like I always was
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: into music, but at the time, there was no program
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: to go to like work on my rap skills or
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: the Rapper show. My next like best thing to me
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: was film. They kicked me out after myself more year
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: though for what my attendance is just poor. I was
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: like one out of three black kids. And the great
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: thing about that is I was one out of three
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: black kids. It was me and the homie Sadiq who
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: played ghost Face, who ten wow, So it was dope.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that, Yeah, you know what
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, connecting back with him the whole full circle joint.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Did you ever think you would lose your rap identity
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: as Joey Badass playing back to Day? Um? No, I
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: think I was gonna lose my rap identity. But that
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: is a good question because I was always reluctant about
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: playing roles that were too close to who I am
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: in real life. But when I got off of that,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: you know, it's wou tang like that's a big honor.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: And then Rizzi has been one of my mentors in
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: this game for a long time, so I definitely wanted
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: to come through for him, like I felt he's come
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: through for me a lot of the time. But you know,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: then I got power and then I got on viv
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Or foul Tan. Tell me about the jay Z connection
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: because you referenced that a couple of times on the
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: album will make you feel and I might be popt it,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: but you say peepe game like Jay, That's that's why
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: he didn't sign me. That's why I didn't. He didn't
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: sign us. Get the Game at Bay. Like the forty
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: nine ers, Jay's like an idol. I read his book
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: The Coded, and that line was inspired by piecing the
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: coda when he said he met with Russell Simmons for
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: the first time, and he details experience as him like
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: remembering sitting at that table and looking at them and
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: thinking to himself like damn, like I don't want to
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: be signing these. I want to beat these. Be a
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: first conversation with Jay, you first sit down with him. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: I was seventeen years old. I was in Denvil. He
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: flew me back out to New York to meet with him,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: and you know, it was a funny little so I
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: walked in and I'm like, yes, like whatever it is.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: It was a dope experience, man, because at seventeen years old,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: I felt so limitless. It was probably like when I
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: was fifteen or sixteen, Like I visualized in my mind
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: like I want to be signed at jay Z. So
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: when I was growing up in that rock Nation building,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: like a year or two later, I'm like, damn, I
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: could do anything. I'm already in alignment with my idol.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: Anything is possible. Did he tell you why he didn't
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: sign y'all? It's funny like I always see him now
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: and I'll be wanting to have that conversation, but the time,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like the time never permits, like where we act,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: But I'd be wanting to ask him that I was
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: so young at the time, and to me, there was
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: no reason to not sign at jay Z, but you know,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: there was other factors involved and like that. So I'm
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: not really sure what exactly happened, because based off the album,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: it seems like y'all used to be up there a lot,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: like skateboarding in front of the building. Well, yeah, they
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: showed us a lot of love. And know what I'm saying,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: to this day, you know, he looks out for me,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: shows me a lot of love. So it's just always
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: been um more like three degrees of separation. And I
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: like what you said about this being a reintroduction to
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Joy Badass, because you do tell so much about yourself.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: You talk about your cousin Richie rich writing your writing
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: your first rap? Yeah, what kind of battery did that?
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: Putting your back? He just like really gave me structure,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like he taught me how
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: to count balls and all like. And then you know,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: I had other older cousins who's a rapping like that.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: For a long time, it was a running joke because
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I used to always tell them, yo, y'all,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: y'all need to bring me to the studio and then
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: blew up and I was like, oh, yeah, you remember
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: writing your first rap? Nah? Nah, But it must have
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: been like first grade because that's when I was introduced
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: to poetry and I identified it as like I was like, oh,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: this is that biggie doing. That's like what my brain said,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And from there I got
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: into poetry. But I will always do like rap style poems.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: But I remember the first time I spent that verse
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: that my cousin wrote for me for my mom's I
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: was like nine years old and something like my name
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: is little Jay and I got the nine you messed
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: with me and I blow off your mind. They hating cousins.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: I'll be on my ground and I always shine while
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: you're acting like yourself clocks for I put a pipe
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: bomb in your mailbox something like that, Right, I'm not.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Na. She even staff for me. She
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: was like, do you know what a nine is? I
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm to me, I'm like, I'm nine, so
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: it just sounds nine years old for me. I'm like, nah.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: She was like, it's a gun. First of all. I
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: was like word. And then she gave me the realist advice.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: She was like, Yo, look, if you want to do this,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: you could do that, but you just gotta be true
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: to yourself. And from there I just kind of took
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: that in rand with about the pipe mall nah. I
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: think she kind of figured out that it wasn't my words,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Somebody else was involved in that.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: All right. We got more with Joey Badass when we
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: come back, don't Move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: Everybody's DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy we are to Breakfast
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: Club was still kicking it with Joey Badass. Charlemagne. No,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: I love written in the stars too. You mentioned your
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: daughter earlier you said your daughter was your wake up call.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: What did that wake up call look like? Do you? Yeah?
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I felt so obligated in earlier years in
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: my career to take kid people to the point where
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of the times it burned me out, feeling
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: like guilt survive is guilt and things of that nature.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: But you know, when my baby girl came, it was like, oh, Okay,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: this is really the only person I'm responsible for, you
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And now that she's his different
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Like if you can't respect that, Dan, you know, we
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: can't even be cool no more. How's your life change?
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: How do you move differently now that you have a girl? Well? Yeah,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: you know, definitely more focused, Definitely more intention and everything
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: that I do, especially when it comes to you know, spending,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, I say, it made me more patient,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: It made me more gentle, It made me more willing
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: to learn and listen. How did you change your overall
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: perspective of women? Definitely, Like you know, from time to
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: time I would have the thought like I wouldn't with
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: my daughter to you know what I'm saying, being in
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: a situation like that, So it definitely kind of gives
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: you a heightened state of awareness when it comes to
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: that interaction. But I mean, I've always been a super
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: respectful man anyway, but like you know, with my baby
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: girl in my life, it definitely kind of shased my
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: mind in a way, like, let me try to be
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: more like the version of the man that I would
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: want my baby girl to grow up. Man, you know,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: be with deal with Do you ever look at it
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: like I was this way as a man and now
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: I gotta change because I don't want my daughter to
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: like that as a man. Yes and no, because you know,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: life is about growth. You know, nobody's gonna come straight
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: off with a tree like Bompart like, nah, you got experience,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: and you know I want I don't want none of
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: that to be hidden from my child, Like I don't
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: want her to ever view life as a thing where
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: you could skip steps and still get by. You know,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: we all got we all got all types of childhood
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: traumas that we couldn't even run from if we tried to.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: These are the things that affect us saying. You know
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, ultimately shape who we are, you know
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: what I mean. But as long as you know you
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: got that growth mindset or as long as whoever she's
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: with got that growth mindset, then I got some patience,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I got some sympathy now in the baddest.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: First of all, you and you and Diddy seem like
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: y'all have a strong relationship. Absolutely. Now did he get
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: so cool and so close? Man? I met Diddy twenty
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: sixteen coming out to Rihanna met Gala after party and
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: one no, he was walking out. I was walking in
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: and he was just like, Yo, King, I'm been trying
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: to connect with you for years, Like I was trying
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: to sign you back in the day, and I'm like,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: this is all news to me, you know what I mean,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: It's first time. I mean, you know, I'm like, wow, work.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: And in that same week I had rolled it out
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: in Miami and then I ran into him again, and
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: if from there it was just like we would just
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: roll dogs, you know what I'm saying, Like he would
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: be going some Yoto, I'm being in New York, b
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: wonna pull up and we just kind of developed that
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: relationship like that, and it's like I'm CP two that
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: is strangers too, Yeah, exactly because of me, you know
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I got him on that project. I
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: got him involved, I made a phone call. I'm super
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: grateful for that relationship because me, I'm a sponge. So
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: it's like, you bring me around at the right wounds
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: and tables, like I ain't taking that for granted. I'm connecting,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: I'm network and I'm you know what I'm saying, I'm
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: using the opportunity fruitfully, you know what I mean, as
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: it should be. So the fact that he could identify
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: that in me, I'm very appreciative of that. You know,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: he did the intro and the outro. On the oultro,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: he said something to the effect of, we got to
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: bring that New York feeling back. Are those conversations that
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: y'all have? And do you think that you can actually
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: bring you back? If you live in someplace like Miami
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: or LA, don't you gotta be here? Yeah? I think
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: you gotta be here for show because you gotta connect
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: with the pulse of the city. You know. Um, what
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: was the question? The question was, do you all have
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: those conversations about bringing the feeling back? Oh? Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: me and Puff we've spoken about that over the years, Like,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll play him some songs. He's like yeah,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: like this is the vible, this ain't the vibe, or
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: you should do this, you should go more here, you know,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: but that's usually the focus of the conversation, you know
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We're always trying to stay in that essence.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: He still got to end. Fifty said, did he don't
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: got no air? No more? Fifty said, did he ain't
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: got no that's a that's a lot puff. I feel
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: like he always gonna have an ear. Now you can
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: tell that you've really been doing the work on yourself
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: mentally too, you know what I mean, Like you go
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: to therapy, I do, Okay, you'll go to therapy. Um,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: I started going to therapy back at twenty twenty. You know.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: As unfortunate as that pandemic was for a lot of people,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like I definitely don't want
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: to be in sensitive when I say this, but for me,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I needed that. I didn't know stillness in my adult life.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Like I hit the ground running that seventeen years old,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: I was still a kid. I didn't realize for about
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: five six years, I didn't stop, you know what I mean.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: So when I finally got that space in that time,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: it's like I just went real deep inside, you know
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: what I mean, and I realized things that I needed.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I need that repet you know
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, I need to be held accountable
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: for my shortcomings. I need those to be pointed out
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: to me because I'm what you call a self improvement junk,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Like I'm committed and devoted to being a better version
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: of myself every time I show up. You could see
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: the evolution in all the breakfast club interviews. I think
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: this is our third one. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: So I pride myself on that, you know. So therapy
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: was definitely an outlet that I saw to bring me
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: closer to a higher self awareness and just state of being.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: What how did you decide to do it? That decision? Well,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I've always been open minded, and I started
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: to resonate with the idea that black people therapy being
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: so tabooed to us. What it was is I was
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: introduced to the concept of emotional intelligence and that kind
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: of blew my mind. That opened so many doors for
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: me because I'm like, wow, like we really wasn't taught
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: this how important it is to identify your own emotions
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: in relation to the people around you. You know what
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, we might just wake up in a
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: bad mood and you wearing that moved and now your
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: household is feeling that move, and you don't even realize
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: you just passed that mood on to your son. Now
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: your son is in school with that move, and he
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: passing that on to you. Know what I'm saying, Like energy,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Energy is so contagious, And once I kind of like
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: realized that, it started to open little pathways in my brain,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: like them even identifying with frustration as an emotion. If
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: you tell a black man, yo, you're being emotional, that's
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: like a fa. But people don't realize that. Yo. If
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: you're angry, if we're having a conversation, you're just screaming
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: because you're mad. You're in your emotion. You know what
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. People get emotionally hijacked every day, be every
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: day like blinded by emotion, blinded by rage. So I
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: just kind of started on that path for understanding myself more.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: Because I grew up I had like anger issues and
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. It was hard to me to identify
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that I was feeling did you
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: figure out where that anger came from? None that I
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: think about it, looking in the high sight, I think
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of it came from when my parents split,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: me not knowing how to process that and then manifesting
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: something else, like me trying to find a reason for elsewhere,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I can't that same realization
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: in therapy, Like I didn't realize how much my parents
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: divorcing had impacted me, and how angry I was at
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: my pops for that word up at the do something
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: of you, especially as a black man, you know what
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, because now you got that separation from your
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: father and it's like you need your father, or as
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: a black man, especially in this world, you had that
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: conversation with your pops. Because you know, one of the
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: best things that helped me was having a conversation with
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: my pops and realizing that he was going to therapy
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: two or three times a week. Back in the day
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: he tried to kill himself. Back in the day he
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: was on tend to twelve different medications. It made me
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: give him more grace because I realized, damn, he was
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: somebody before he was my parents, right, and you know,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: he was just doing the best he could, but what
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: he had, Yeah, you know, I have to. I have
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: great conversations for my dad all of the time, and
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: it's like I have my own interpretations of it because
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: my understanding and his understanding is definitely different, and it's
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: like a generational difference. And I came to kind of
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: growing accept that because what fulfills me, what I appreciate,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: what I'm grateful for is that I could hear my
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: old man's wisdom, you know what I mean. And it's
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: like it's up to me to interpret that however I
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: see fit. But just being able to hear that, Like,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I might feel a little bit more spiritually
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: advanced than my dad, but I could never be more experienced,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And that alone just make
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: me so grateful for any time we connect, you know
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because I feel like it's a meeting
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: of the minds and you can learn from anybody. All Right,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: we got more with Joey Badass when we come back.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, a breakfast
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: Club morning. Everybody is DJ envied Charlemagne, the guy we
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: are to Breakfast Club. Were still kicking it with Joey
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: Badass Charlemagne. Do you really meditate every day? You say
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: that on the album, So you meditate everything? Na, it's
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: hard to meditate every day, like you know, that's more
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: of like a manifestation. I would like to meditate every
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: day at a point, I was, you know, in the
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: Pandemic for show. But one thing I try to do
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: is pray every day because I feel like it's a
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: form of you know, meditation or just a form of
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: being able to like program you're thinking in the right way.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: What did you see about it? Because I always say,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: you know, the pandemic, like you said earlier, made all
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: of us be still for the first time. A lot
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: of us had to like really be still for the
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: first time and deal with ourselves. Couldn't run from our
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: traumas or nothing. What did you see that I made
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: you be like, oh no, I gotta go do some
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: work on myself. I saw how much I was settling
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: for the short end of the stick. Like you know,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of the like the first half
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: of my career really focused and obliged to taking care
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: of other people, and in that I put a lot
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: of people before myself. So when the pandemic, it kind
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: of put things in perspective to me. It's like, damn,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: I got I did this one for that one, that
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: one for this one, But what the do I have
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: to show for myself? And then that was a whole
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: reset because then I came out the pandemic selfish, but
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: in the best way possible, because I've never been that person.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: It is evident too, like I'm glad you noticed that.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: You said, Yo, you look healthy, Like this is what
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: I look like when I'm focused on myself. Did the
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: pandemic finally give you the opportunity to grieve? Steve's the
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: right way? It definitely gave me opportunities. But I don't
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know this this this grieving, is it a
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: complete process? Does it get I don't know if it's
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: a complete process. But I was gonna say when I
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: listened to Survivor's Guild, I feel like you have finally
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: started processing. Yes, you know his death. This is the
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: first year where I definitely feel a little bit of peace,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's ten years later, but
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: just with Stesus, I'm still majorly grieving my cousin junior.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: Then how are you processing it, like, you know, did
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: it make you look at Because I had a friend
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: committed suicide in twenty twenty, and when she did that,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: it made me look at suicide differently. It definitely brought
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: me to a very dark place. And you know me,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: I'm very intuitive, So something inside me told me because
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: I remember coming from the funeral for me and c
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: J was on the way back to the crib and
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: I remember telling him like, yo, bro, we gotta be
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: strong for everybody else because it's easy to fall right now.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: And I got pulled into that. Even after saying it,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: even after having that a witness and that understanding that
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: I couldn't go there, I still got sucked into that,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It brought me out of
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: very low, low place. I was depressed, like I felt
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: so many ways. I'm like, damn, like seventeen years old,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: Like I know so many people who were so much
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: older than me, and they've never lost somebody this close
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: to them, you know what I mean. It was just
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of unsettling emotions and feelings and
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: at the same time, dealing with fame for the first time,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: dealing with you know what I'm saying, Like the ills
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: of that it was bucked. That's a natural though. I'm
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: sure your therapists told you that you gotta light something
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: to feel your feels, like, yeah, and that's what I
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: realized too. Like, first of all, I'm grateful for the
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: fact that I was able to put a lot of
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: my trauma off because I was so busy, because I
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: don't know what I would have did with that idle time,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like I was hotly depressed,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Like I felt suicidal all of that, you know what
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: I mean. Like I was very convinced that I wasn't
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: gonna live past twenty five. Like at seventeen eighteen, I
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: was very convinced to that. I'm like, it's no way,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: Like I didn't see life after twenty five. Even when
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: I turned twenty five, I was a mind for me
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, damn, I did not visualize life this far. Wow.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: And then right there I drew up a twenty year plan.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: Did you look at suicide differently because a lot of people,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: especially in New York it's probably all of the world,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: but especially in New York. When growing up as a kid,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: when you think of suicide, the first thing that people
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: think is your soft for your week. But then when
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: you start having those emotions in that feeling, you realize
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: its far from that. First of all, it's weird to
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: say this, but like I think suicide is an incredibly
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: brave thing. You have to have a lot of audacity
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: to do that to yourself, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: And then it's like to withstand that pain or whichever way,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: like you know, like it's heavy, but it's like there's
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: nothing soft about that, nothing at all, you know what
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like I remember when I was at that point,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling low, and like as low as I was feeling,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: as convinced I was that like I didn't really want
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: to live. I couldn't find that courage to actually do it.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: My home girl, Jazz, rest in peace. She did it
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenties, completed suicide. That's what these say to say,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: shanty dark. But Jazz said she was so intentional and
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: so calculated and so strategic that when she did it,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: in my mind, I processed it like she just knew
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: it was her time to go. Like, you know, I've
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: never had that feeling like it's time for me to exit,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: you know. But even if you go look at her Twitter,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: she was saying things like I wonder what my next
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: life is gonna be like and things like that. So
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: something came over her where she knew today is my day.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: You ste It was the same way with Steves, you
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like he definitely was vocal about
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: it leading up to it happening, you know what I'm saying,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: and like when it was just it was weird man
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: that the deport buying that new portion nine eleven? Did
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: it really help your mental health? That's you say on that,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah a little bit, you know what I'm saying, because
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta show yourself like what you can, like
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: achieved like it with it being a superficial item and
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: a material thing. To me, it was more represented me
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: having a goal, you know, and me proving myself once again,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: like anything that's possible, Like that was my dream car
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: and I could have got it for a long time,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: but then one day I just decided, y'all gonna do it,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it really did something from my state of being,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: my state of mind, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: I had to put to myself, like I know, all
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: I gotta do is be connected to the source. But
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: now I need to pouh. Now what I love about you,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: Joey Man is like when when you see a black
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: man doing the work it does reflecting his life, it
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: reflecting the way he looks, and reflecting his career professionally.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: Just probably your best body of work album. Why you
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: see what you're doing in Hollywood. So that's why, man,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: when I see you, when I see that and I
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: hear you telling these stories about going to therapy and everything,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's gonna convince so many more black men
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: to go go do the work. Absolutely. Man. It's like,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: you know, I always probably myself on being some type
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: of role model because it's like with this position I got,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: with this stature, with this platform, it's like I got
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: so many people listening, and I feel like the least
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: I could do is implant seeds that will sprout, like,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: you know, more opportunity for these people, or just you know,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: wisdom that will transcend you into the right directions for
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: these people and stuff like that, and also just making
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: them not feel alone. Like I realized that, like my
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: most relatable work is my most vulnerable work, and usually
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: when I go there like a survivor skill or show me.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: People relate to that more. We appreciate you for Joey
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: bass Man, keep growing. My brother's Joey Badass. It's the
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: never be the same. When it's time to get with
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: someone special, the best way to do it is with
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: Magnum large size condoms. That gold foil wrapper is a
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: badge of honor and it means you're protected and you
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: take care of things with comfort. Accept no substitutes. Bring
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: the pleasure with the gold standard Magnum large size condoms.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: It's topic time called eight hundred five eight five one five.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: Want to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: Talk about it, everybody, DJ Envy, Charlomagne, the guy. We
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: are the breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Kevin Gates and open up the phone
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: lines eight hundred and five A five one oh five
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: one now. Kevin Gates post posted this on Twitter yesterday.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: If a woman comes in the bathroom, it talks to
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: me while I'm taking an ish. I find that very romantic.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: Now do you like when your wife comes in the bathroom?
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: It has a conversation with you. Absolutely not. That's not
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: something that we do. I hate poop, first of all,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: don't like it. I know everyone does it, but it's
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: literally one of my least favorite things to do. I
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: don't look at it when it's in the toilet. I
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: know some people like to look at it and make
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: sure it's like, you know, in the shape of the
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: Superman logo, like I don't do. Yeah, I don't do
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: none of that, you know what I mean. I think
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: when you are moving vows, it's a sacred experience and
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: you should expel ways by yourself. I don't want my
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: wife in the bathroom with me while I'm pooping. There's
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: nothing cute about that. It's nothing sexy about that. I
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: mean to me, Kevin Gates, that sends to him to
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: each his own, and to me, No, yeah, I feel
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: the same. I don't. I don't see nothing sexy with
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have a conversation. Although I set
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: up shot when I go to the back from though,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: like I said, like, I'm not in the bathroom for
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: like thirty seconds, I'm magazine. Nah, not me, Nah, I
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: got my phone. No, I'm too old. Something that I
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: might be paying my bills. What I'm doing, like, I
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: really take my time, like I sometimes I'm on that
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: so a lot on my feet, fall to sleep. That
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: happens to me all the time. And I don't even
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: gotta be on there long. That's why I don't do
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: it any more. I meant to get I like them
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: step stools. My sister Alicia, and they told me a
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: long time ago to get one of them stools. Like
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: it's like a squatty party there you go when you
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: put your legs up while you're pooping, so you put
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: your legs up wi you pool. That's too that's just
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: too much. But I will tell you that when I
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: got a calonic, I did that. It was amazing. I'm
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie. Did you like what the calonic part?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: I like the whole process. I mean it's a little uncomfortable,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: but I'm talking about like when the after year the
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: calonic is done, you gotta go sit on the toilet
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: and the calonic place and she had a squatty party
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: in there, and I'm not gonna lie, man. I don't
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: know if it was the calinic of the squatty party,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: but it dumped like you dump dump dump, you know
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: what I mean. If it was, it felt good and
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: my legs weren't sleepy when I got up. I'm glad
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: you find a good but yeah, answer your question. No,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: I don't want my woman in the bathroom with you
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: while I'm taking the pool. And I don't want to
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: be in there with her what she's taking? Collo? Who's this? Hey?
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: This is representing the ball? Yeah, what's up? Bro? We're
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: talking about, uh, you know, pooping in front of your partner.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: All right, so check this out. Think about it. Normally,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: how many people have you pooped in front of what?
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: I've not even very few, nobody besides my wife. And
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: this is when when it has to happen. But I
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: don't think I've ever pooped in front of my wife.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: My mama went out of the baby right with athlete.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: So the highest level of intimately, it's pooping in front
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: of the partner. No, it's not no more intimate than that.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: That is not true like romantic, that's just simply not true. Romantic.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: And only my wife only comes in the bathroom. She
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: has so like it might like she might need something
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: out the bathroom, and when she comes in there, she's
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: coming there like full gas mask on like ah, and
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: by your logic, you might as well walk around with
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: a dipe on and let your wife change you and
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: wipe you and all kinds of stuff that to meet too. Absolutely,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: have a blessed day, sir, Have a blessed don't king shaming,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: Have a blessing. Don't kink shaming. Hello, who's this and
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: what's going on? This is? This is lit? I'm going
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: to radio. It's lit. It's lit. You're poop in front
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: of your partner? Oh bro, I'm sorry if you're poop
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: in front of your partner. Um, yeah, I do. Definitely
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: you got you because that lets you know that that's
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: a you got a real one. That means definitely down
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: for the boy. Y'all got some y'all got some weird
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: ways to make sure that your woman is a real No,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: because you know you, I mean because you have to,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: because that's something natural of people be like ill, Like
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like when you first start
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: dating somebody like you, you know how many fought you
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: holding that's not healthy. You gotta let it out so
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: somebody that you could feel comfortable with that let you you.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: You couldst of all and all that we have conversations.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: First of all, I don't fight in my clothes. That's
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: number one. Number two, why would you want to fart
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: around anybody? That's just disrespectful. Like it's just like nobody
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: just sits around and farts. You ain't never just been
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: in the casual conversation with a person and they just
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: maybe when you was a kid, but when you're an adult,
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: you don't do stuff like that. So why would you
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: do that around your wife? So this is what I
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: do when if I'm in public and I gotta fart,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: I just I just stop away. I just say, excuse me,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: I'll stepped to the side, fart and let it air out,
• 1:34:12
